Domaine d’Argentella

Domaine d’Argentella is a 500m² estate featuring eight bedrooms, a kitchen, a dining room, and several lounges with views of the Big Blue. These two-story spaces can accommodate up to 16 people, providing ample room and easy circulation. This spaciousness stems from the villa’s history of housing multiple boats. The former maritime and industrial use required generous volumes, and amusing traces of this past life are evident in the preserved architectural details. For instance, the loading dock has been transformed into a pier, which guests of Domaine d’Argentella can use to dive directly into the Mediterranean.

But there’s more. The old door through which ships used to enter and exit has been converted into a huge glass wall, creating a dining area with the sea as its perpetual guest. Higher up, on the balconies, the owners have added nautical touches with stainless steel railings reminiscent of a ship’s prow, and those around the pool evoke the railings of a ship.

“Domaine d’Argentella is a house of sharing where time seems suspended, almost frozen,” confides its owner. The tranquil Mediterranean has a lot to do with this serene atmosphere. Surrounding the house, the calm sea, with the Corsican mountains diving into it, beckons tranquility. Yet, it also invites exploration: stepping out of the villa, numerous water activities and games await! You can opt for a dip in the Domaine’s pool or try your hand at fishing from the granite pier. Water skiing and paddleboarding are also available for visitors to glide on the water.

Further away, a half hour’s drive at the port of Calvi, the owners offer their nine-meter-long boat for rent to explore the must-see creeks of Piana or the Scandolla reserve. Another vacation goal: vanish into the mountains and overlook the sea. To gain altitude and face the iconic Gulf of Galéria, one can take one of the numerous hiking trails starting from the small village.
